Turtle CYP, formerly known as the ‘Four Towns Play Association’ and ‘South Gloucestershire Playscheme’ run free playschemes for children in the school holidays at venues across South Gloucestershire including Patchway, Stoke Gifford, Bradley Stoke, Kingswood and Yate.
The playscheme offers free play sessions for children from 5 – 11 years of age who live or go to school in South Gloucestershire. We support local children to play and learn in the presence of others in a safe and child-friendly environment. We run play sessions during the school holidays – four weeks in the summer break, one week at Christmas, two weeks at Easter, and half term family fun days in February, October and Whitsun.

Our aim is to ensure children have fun and also to provide a break for parents. The scheme provides a safe and fun environment for children to enjoy a range of activities including arts, crafts, sports and team games.
“Thanks for organising such amazing clubs. My daughter was so worried before she turned up as she didn’t know anyone, but it’s such a great opportunity for her to make new friends.”
Every year we apply to lots of different funding pots.
We feel it’s important to ensure that there is no cost to the families that attend our scheme. We would like to say a huge thank you to the following funders that have given us funding so far this year:
